What is Licence Free Music?

Also known as rights inclusive music, it’s music that does not have royalties collected by the traditional collection agencies such as PRS and PPL.

We work with an international music licensing company that specialises in providing great quality licence free music. The music quality is so high it’s used in over 10,000 stores across Europe, Asia, and South America. With access to over 70,000 tracks, our music profilers are able to build great quality playlists for the retail and leisure sectors.

How does it work?

Great music for your business is just three steps away:

Sign Up: simply select the plan best suited to your needs. Pay monthly or save by paying annually.

Log in and select your playlist: with plenty of options to choose from, we are sure you will find the perfect music for your business.

Connect your compatible device, desktop, mobile or tablet to your audio system and press play.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Background Sounds based?

We are a UK based business with offices in the North East.

When is the music updated?

Our music profilers are constantly analysing new tracks to add to the playlists and also create new playlists, we will keep you informed when changes take place.

Can I use Background sounds in several locations?

Yes – you will require a subscription for each location. Get in touch and we can setup a multi-location account for you.

Which playlist is right for my business?

We have lots of different playlists to cater for all types of businesses. We have filter categories which help narrow down your search or you could use our “Tempo” indicator to match the energy you require. You have full access to the library so feel free to explore and find your style.

So I don’t need a PRS/PPL music licence to use your service?

That’s correct. All the music we provide is produced by artists who have chosen to monetize their music in a different way so they are not registered with traditional collection agencies.

How much does it cost?

You can choose to pay monthly £15.00 + VAT or pay annually £150.00 + VAT

Do you have an offline mode?

Currently we only offer our service when you are connected to the internet.

Are there any additional charges?

No. Your subscription gives you full access to the library. When we add new music you will have access to that as part of your subscription.
